Carolina K-12 is dedicated to assisting teachers by providing free, high-quality events, materials, meals, etc. To ensure spaces and resources do not go wasted due to last minute cancellations or “no-shows,” we rely on your partnership to communicate any change in plans. Typically, if your application is accepted to an event, you will receive notice via e-mail and a response is required within 3 business days. (***Please make sure you have added the domain “@unc.edu” to your safe senders list, & always check your spam/junk/promotional folders. Failure to receive/reply to your acceptance e-mail within 3 business days can result in your spot going to the next teacher on the list.***) If a spot is offered to you, certain events may require you to provide a credit card number within three business days via phone (919-962-1544) to secure your space. (Please do not e-mail your credit card information.) YOUR CARD WILL NOT BE CHARGED and NO HOLD is placed on your card to participate in our FREE events. In the event that a cancellation is unavoidable, we request that you cancel at least 1-2 weeks in advance of the event start date to allow us the time to fill your spot. Then why do you need to provide a credit card number if it’s FREE? We are committed to providing services to hardworking teachers for free, but failure to cancel, last minute cancellations, and “no shows” result in extreme waste and prevents wait-listed teachers from attending. Thus, failure to cancel/participate may result in a $75 “no show” fee applied to your credit card (except in the case of emergencies or sudden illness.) This charge is ONLY applied for a registrant who does not cancel their registration and/or does not show up. (This charge is not applied in the cases of unavoidable emergencies and sudden illness.) We take your privacy very seriously; all credit card information is kept in a locked safe and then shredded after the training date. In addition to the free teacher trainings offered by Carolina K-12, educators can also register to attend an Adventures in Ideas seminar offered by Carolina Public Humanities (CPH). While these lectures are designed for a general audience and will not include pedagogical training, they are an excellent way for teachers to broaden their content knowledge in various subjects as life-long-learners. Scholarships covering 50% of the tuition are available for all Adventures in Ideas seminars for currently employed full-time teachers, librarians, and administrators in K-12 public and private schools and community colleges. These teacher scholarships for general seminars are made possible by generous donors to CPH. Check out the listing of Adventures in Ideas seminars offered by CPH, here. If you see an Adventures in Ideas seminar you would like to attend, take the following steps to apply for the 50% discount: Please note: Teachers who attend CPH’s Adventures in Ideas seminars can apply for a $75 stipend via the Daisy Edmister Fund! Visit the Daisy Edmister Fund site for more information. Carolina K-12 also offers customized trainings for individual schools, school districts, and extra-curricular programs (i.e., 4-H, Youth Councils, etc.) We can also organize a professional development retreat for your group at UNC-Chapel Hill. Costs vary. To learn more about our customization options, as well as our trainings for after school and youth leadership programs, please contact Christie Hinson Norris at 919.843.9387 or cnorris@unc.edu.
